We're dividing 118697 by 73 
Let's see how many times 73 fits into 118697.

Advancing to step 1:
If we divide 1 by 73, we get 0 and a remainder of 1.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 1, we get 1.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 1 and repeat the process: 11 / 73

Going ahead to step 2:
73 goes into 11 0 times with a remainder of 11.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 11 after subtracting 0 from 11.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 11, then carry on: 118 / 73

Let's proceed to step 3:
The number 73 fits into 118 1 times, leaving a remainder of 45.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1.0
The remainder is 45 after subtracting 73 from 118.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 45 and continue with: 456 / 73

Let's proceed to step 4:
If we divide 456 by 73, we get 6 and a remainder of 18.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 16.0
Subtract 438 from 456 to get 18.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 18, then repeat: 189 / 73

On to step 5:
When dividing 189 by 73, we get 2 with a remainder of 43.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 162.0
Subtracting 146 from 189 leaves us with 43.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 43, then carry on: 437 / 73

Let's proceed to step 6:
73 can be fit into 437 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 72.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1625.0
If we subtract 365 from 437, we get 72.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 720, and continue the process.

Step 7:
73 can be fit into 720 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 63.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1625.9
If we take 657 away from 720, we end up with 63.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 630, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
When dividing 630 by 73, we get 8 with a remainder of 46.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 1625.98
Deduct 584 from 630 and we're left with 46.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 460, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
73 goes into 460 6 times with a remainder of 22.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1625.986
Subtracting 438 from 460 leaves us with 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
If we divide 220 by 73, we get 3 and a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 1625.9863
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 219 from 220.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
10 divided by 73 is 0 with a remainder of 10.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 1625.9863
The remainder is 10 after subtracting 0 from 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
The number 73 fits into 100 1 times, leaving a remainder of 27.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1625.986301
If we subtract 73 from 100, we get 27.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 270, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
73 goes into 270 3 times with a remainder of 51.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1625.9863013
Subtracting 219 from 270 leaves us with 51.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 510, and continue the process.

Step 14:
If we divide 510 by 73, we get 6 and a remainder of 72.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1625.98630136
Deduct 438 from 510 and we're left with 72.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 720, and continue the process.

The final result is 1625.98630136 with a remainder of 7.2e-08.
